Snake - Keelback early morning Hunt!

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Shot this at JLR-Kabini during this summer (May'09) @ 5:30am. It was totally unexpected I woke at 5:15am and stepped out of my room to wake up my cousin and in the Verandah I see this Keelback Snake hunting on a frog, just before this shot it had aready swallowed a small frog. With no proper lighting I had to use my torch and use flash to photograph this action.

Quite lucky to start your day this way . The details on the skin and the colour are nice. If it was possible a lower angle would have enhanced it further. Any other in this series with the whole snake?
